1-Bromooctadecane → HCID 15233467, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 11 g (27 mmol) of 3-hydroxy-5-[3-[4-(phenyl-methoxy)phenoxy]propoxy]benzoic acid methyl ester, 9.9 g (29.6 mmol) of 1-bromooctadecane and 7.5 g (55 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 225 ml of DMF was stirred and heated at 80° for 30 hours. The solvent was removed at reduced pressure and the residue was purified by chromatography on 300 g of silica gel using 10% ethyl acetate-hexane to give 15.7 g (88% yield, mp 76°-77°) of 3-(octadecyloxy)-5-[3-[4-(phenylmethoxy)phenoxy]propoxy]benzoic acid methyl ester.
